oh vera - so lovely of you to answer. i really appreciate it so much.
as soon as i read your post last night, i got on line an distorted looking at what jobs were available here.
it was horrendous!! but it was a good reminder - to make me think of how i would like to see my life, in terms of what work i would like to do. it woke me up once again to the fact that I was better off for now pursuing what i really enjoy and trying to make that work , instead of rushing off to be a barista at starbucks!!
so today - i have started to think about applying to craft shows, calling my friend who has an art boutique in SF, and beginning to think along the lines i used to before the accident. how to find venues for selling my work.
I think I'm going to have a sale out of my house in august - sort of an "open house" day where people can drop in and buy or at least see what there is available. i know a woman who did that here fro 3 or 4 years and sold quite a lot (kids clothes) and I thought maybe I could do the same as a start for local business.
I know that the real reason why i I have not pursued this more determinedly is that something is holding me back emotionally. I'm trying to work through that at the same time, so am hoping that when those reasons or beliefs are uncovered they can fade away and I will be strong and determined about this. I know I am physically capable , but emotionally - there is something askew..
just your replying an suggesting a couple of things, has helped me push myself a bit more.
maybe the feeling of things being so up in the air in my life, also affects my work and i feel reluctant in some way to take definitive steps in that area. I keep making that conscious decision , while at the same time not living it on an everyday level
thank-you zig
